Overall Satisfaction with Whimsical
The feature I use from Whimsical is the mind mapping mode. I've tried many other mind mapping tools (e.g. ClickUp) in the past including desktop apps like Freemind, but in terms of cloud-based mind mapping tools, their mind-mapping tool is the best one or the one I prefer using the most.
I use mind mapping to work out product development, doing brain dumps to organize thoughts and ideas.

- Mind maps
- Generous usage on free plan
- Very intuitive
- Getting out of a selected view is not quite as intuitive.
- No hard numbers I can quote. Other than the free plan has been adequate for my needs.
- It's my go to mind mapping tool.
ClickUp's mind mapping tool was very basic and hard to use from my perspective. Whimsical was by far easier and did what I wanted for a SaaS/cloud-based mind mapping tool.
Xmind is fine as a desktop app, but updating the app was a pain whereas, with Whimsical I don't have to worry about that. Also, I wanted to continue working on a mind map wherever I was, even if I didn't have my laptop or device with me and Whimsical allows me to do that.
